Turf Club

The Scene
A long bar occupies one side of the narrow front room and a crew of regulars settles near the front to greet fresh faces. It's definitely an unpretentious neighborhood bar, but brick walls, brass bar fixtures and blond-wood floors are stylish touches. In back, the room opens up to a spacious dance floor. Smokers and dancers who need to catch their breath can relax outside on the patio.

The Draw
Young gay guys, leather daddies, drag queens and the occasional cowboy create an entertaining mix on any given night; somehow no one seems out of place. The lighting and sound systems are surprisingly good; on Fridays and Saturdays, DJs spin current dance hits from the booth high above the floor. Drink specials vary throughout the week, and bartenders are always quick and generous when it comes to serving thirsty patrons.
